At 36 I used to be a Radio 1 fan, but after Jo Whiley and Edith Bowman have gone, I just can't abide Chris Moyles, Fearne Cotton, Scott Mills et al. Still too young for Radio 2 and 4 though!
I like the music on XFM but don't like the commercials and the crap DJs. So working from home today, and have tuned into Radio 6 Music, to be greeted by Gomez with Whipping Piccadilly. Spot on in my books. Any other suggestions from the STW posse?

Rock radio manchester. Terrible adverts though

Maybe XFM, although it's gotten a bit ropey recently with too many ads.
6Music is the way forward, especially with Huey Morgan late mornings.

Sine FM here in Donny, though you'll only get the FM if you're under two miles from the station, but listen live on the web. Sometimes crap, but not bland.

At work I tend to have either BBC 6Music or Classic FM on via internet radio - work are fine with people wearing earphones. When I get bored of the adverts I've got a Spotify player on the works computer too.
Working from home, I add Absolute Radio to the mix as well.
The lab I used to work in had a stereo which could only really pick up the local station, High Peak Radio, a truly dreadful mix of local adverts for local businesses, crap DJ's and ropey music.

Absolute 80's or 90's or Sky

Radio 1 for me still, even though they play mostly shite music.
Planet Rock is ok if you're into your cheesy old rock

Radio 4, then when womans hour/drama/archers/etc comes on i switch to Dublab. Spotify subscription is handy too.

Radio 4 will make you cleverer. You've just missed desert island discs. I quite like Woman's hour.

It needs to be music if I'm trying to do some work. Is Spotify good - do I need to join the 21st century and get signed up?

If you're still working at 5 I'd recommend the Headfunk show on Vectisradio.com (internet only). The rest of the day they're mostly middle of the road though.

6 Music (who's wearing an old band t shirt today?) until Nemone gets annoying then find a random internet station. It was a bluegrass station yesterday.
Radio 4 if there's any science programmes on. BBC 7 occasionally at lunchtime for Hancock and other lesser comedies.Posted 1 year ago # -
Internet radio - google it.
that'll put an end to your "working" from home fantasyPosted 1 year ago # -
